My favorite thing about Mastodon so far is that all of a sudden I have posts about history, archaeology, astrophysics etc in my timeline because even though I follow mostly the same people here as tweeter everyone branched out once they got here and started boosting cool people they ran into here.
@bailardejesus indeed. Also: finally, lots of Europeans from all over. It’s fantastic
@bailardejesus Yes, yes, yes. My experience exactly. Isn't it wonderful to meet so many people who are interesting in so many different ways?
@bailardejesus Hmm, all I'm getting are really silly jokes. Perhaps Mastodon is the key to learning who we truly are?
@bailardejesus You can also find others on your federated timeline.
@shelenn Yes! Thank you for the tip because I forget about that!
@bailardejesus yes. I'm trying to be far more expansive here than I was in that other place.
@bailardejesus Welcome to the Fediverse! A good way to start is hashtags in your profile and on posts then search/follow hashtags to find others with common interests and use a tool like fedifinder.glitch.me/ to find your twitter crowd here.

@bailardejesus Yes, I noticed the same, and it really brings a lot of new themes and areas into the timeline....nice feature of Mastodon!
@bailardejesus and no ads!! oh, and lower blood pressure - that's a plus =)
@bailardejesus It is funny how people really seem to have a different personality here (me included).
@bailardejesus
Agreed it's so nice here. Like a great book shop.
@bailardejesus in addition I am also following all the cool folks so my feed is even more rich...
@bailardejesus yes! Yes exactly this! My timeline is a delight 🥰
